Abstract: The invention relates to a method for adapting a mask image with mask regions (110) to a digital image, comprising a selection of a boundary point (300), determination of one planar element Sa from a number of given examples and an enlargement or reduction of the mask region (110) to give an adapted mask image. The mask image is defined by a edge curve (130) and the digital image has a first region (10) with a first tone value type and a second region (20) with a second tone value type. The mask image is overlaid on the digital image and the edge curve (130) shall run along a contour curve (30) separating the first region (10) from the second region (20). The boundary point (300) is on the edge curve (130) of the mask which includes planar elements comprising planar elements of the first toner value type and planar elements of the second toner value type, such that the given planar element Sk(i) forms an extreme target function by placement thereof at an edge of the boundary point (300), wherein the target function depends on the planar fraction of that planar element on placement thereof at the position of the boundary point (300) which overlaps the first region (10) should the planar element be of the first toner value type and on the planar fraction of the planar element on placement thereof at the position of the boundary point (300) which overlaps the second region if the planar element is of the second toner value type. The enlargement or reduction of the mask region (110) is achieved about the given planar element Sk(i) dependent on the toner value type of the given planar element Sk(i).

Abstract: A method for determining a cell contour of a cell having a cell nucleus and a cytoplasm in an image of the cell includes determining nucleus candidate pixels belonging to the nucleus. Further, the method comprises determining a pixel within the area formed by the nucleus candidate pixels for obtaining a central nucleus candidate pixel, determining a first edge candidate pixel as a pixel on a predetermined path leading away from the central nucleus candidate pixel by determining a change from a first section to a second section of a color space, and finding edge candidate pixels leading away from the first edge candidate pixel forming a boundary surrounding the cell, via a path-finding algorithm tending to prefer smaller path lengths and paths through pixels in the second section of the color space.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé et un dispositif de production d'images en coupe optiques. L'invention sert à l'exploration optique en couches, tridimensionnelle, d'objets étendus dans l'espace et trouve des applications en microscopie, sans toutefois être limitée à ce domaine. Conformément à ce procédé, des illuminations périodiquement distribuées au moins dans une direction spatiale, sont projetées dans un plan de projection, et une lumière fluorescente et/ou luminescente qui est réfléchie et/ou diffractée dans l'échantillon et/ou émise par celui-ci, est reproduite sur un détecteur à résolution locale. L'invention est caractérisée en ce qu'on procède tout d'abord à une étape d'étalonnage, dans laquelle la phase locale et/ou la période locale des illuminations distribuées sont déterminées pour chaque emplacement sur le détecteur. Dans un mode de détection de l'échantillon, deux illuminations distribuées sont projetées dans/ ou sur l'échantillon, en vue de calculer chaque image en coupe, et les distributions d'intensité résultantes sont reproduites sur le détecteur. Les étapes du procédé de projection et de détection de deux illuminations distribuées sont répétées aussi souvent que désiré, en particulier pour différentes positions focales de l'échantillon et/ou pour différentes longueurs d'onde des illuminations, et les distributions d'intensité sont utilisées pour calculer au moins une image en coupe optique à partir des distributions d'intensité captées, par l'intermédiaire de la phase locale et/ou de la période locale.
